I have a 1945 p penny with a few things I'm not sure about 5 in 1945 looks thick LIB looks thick and L is touching rim GOD has some marks on it DD or ? WE touching rim and the W has marks DD? TRUST the letters have marks on the top DD E on reverse is different from the Es Ive seen on Coppercoins but dont know if its significant or if any of it is or just MD or other. Thanks            Edited by Jessiescorpio

In the LI on LIBERTY that is wider (and lower) because of grease retained in those devices. PLU on reverse is also the same issue. PSD on rim and WE area. I agree no hub doubling. When looking for enlargement of devices, the tops of the devices should be rounded and not flat.  |

 Also, it looks like the devices we're damaged from a coin rolling machine. Notice how the top half's of some of the devices are flattened a little or the technical definition "smushed down". |

The die chips were the product of the thinking of the 50's wheat cents of running the dies past the normal retirement. So many coins with die events happening of the coins. A very common issue to find on this era of coins.

Depends. They were all created (except for 1960 small date) from the same master hubs. But when a die is over polished the devices get thinner because the the bottom of the wide base of the devices are reduced.   So they should be the same, unless the dies were polished. (the devices on the 1960 small dates are a bit different) |

It looks like chips on the date, but not that it is a lamination issue where parts of the metal peeled and moved to a new location? ('6')

I tried to clean it off thought it was debris it didnt move. is this metal that was chipped when made then stuck to coin?
the 9 looks like it has horns on it lol
I doubled checked against a same year coin. the reverse found the E to have a point at the top left.

so would the chip on 6, horns on 9, and hooked R be a error when made? I forgot to mention the A above the E
